Where is the coolant added in the Cruze?

The coolant filling location for the Cruze is on the right side of the engine. Coolant prevents the freezing of the liquid in the cooling system during cold winter parking, which could otherwise cause the radiator to crack or damage the engine cylinder block or head. Vehicle coolant generally needs to be replaced every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. This is just a reference interval. For commercial vehicles with longer mileage, the replacement interval should be shorter. Since driving conditions vary for each vehicle, the replacement should be based on actual usage. Check the coolant level regularly and top it up if it's low. If suspended particles, sediment, or discoloration are observed in the coolant, replace it immediately and clean the system. The basic specifications of coolant are its freezing and boiling points. Available coolant freezing points on the market include -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, and -40°C. It's advisable to choose a coolant with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region. Always use the same brand of coolant. Different brands may have varying formulations, and mixing them could lead to chemical reactions between additives, rendering them ineffective.
